Expand non-face-to-face education and increase efficiency through ‘two-directional/real-time/online’ High usability in situations where offline education is limited such as for Corona19... High expectations for students Use for career/employment consulting, special employment lectures, mock video conferencing interviews, group consulting, mentoring, etc. [March 11, 2020]
YU (President Sur Gil-soo) constructed the ‘Online Career/Employment Support System’ on the 9th.
With the construction of this system, YU has become enabled to support online, real-time ▲one-on-one career/employment consulting ▲special lectures on employment ▲mock video conferencing interviews ▲group consulting and mentoring, etc. It is expected that it will be very useful in situations where face-to-face education with students is difficult due to reasons such as the recently spreading COVID-19.
In particular, there are high expectations from students on two-directional online real-time career/employment consulting between students and consultants using the live video conferencing program. Students who applied for career/employment consulting in advance can receive employment consulting anytime, anywhere using a PC or mobile device.
Park Ga-yeon (22, Department of English Language and Literature, senior), who received consulting on the first day of the opening of the system, said, “I had experience receiving face-to-face consulting offline and after receiving this online video conference consulting, I felt no big difference in terms of quality. In fact, I liked it because I was able to save time of having to physically go to the place for consulting and that I could receive consulting regardless of location. I think I will be busy preparing for employment as I am a senior now, and so I think using the online consulting service frequently will be a good idea.” YU expects that by using this system, 23 consultants for career and employment consulting will provide individual consulting for about 100 students a day.
It has become possible for various special lectures by experts and real-time online two-directional mentoring to strengthen employment competence. A total of 25 lectures can be opened simultaneously and up to 100 students can connect to each lecture, therefore, making it possible for a maximum of 2,500 students to participate at the same time. Furthermore, it is possible to share various contents offered by the educator in real-time, and it is thus expected to improve the quality of education as well. YU will test the online video conferencing system for the 1st special career lecture for the 2020 school year on the 12th. Special lectures received huge attention from students, and applications were filled almost as soon as it was opened. From the 14th, the employment senior mentoring program will also be available and plans are to continue to expand to various extra-curricular programs in the future.
YU College Job Center Director Lee Seung-woo said, “It has become possible to go beyond the one-directional employment education model that was centered on offline classes, thus making it possible to improve flexibility for the career/employment support education operation method.” He added, “Especially with the COVID-19 issue, face-to-face employment consulting and providing education has become limited, and therefore, it is expected to be used more by students. We will do our best so that the university can construct various systems so that students can receive high quality education and services regardless of when and where in whatever situation.”
